Language is understanding and using words to communicate a message with others. Two areas of language are expressive and receptive. Expressive language is how we use our words to communicate and receptive language is understanding what we have heard. Within these two areas are the many aspects of language: semantics (knowledge and use of words, syntax (knowledge and use of grammar), and pragmatics (use of social language).
